I just don't think Cadillac is there just yet, but Infiniti's lineup is more competitive, at least to me. And the same goes for Lincoln, they may have a couple cars that could be considered tier two, but as a whole I would rank them at tier 3.

Audi is not Tier 1.

None of those three brands can be considered Tier 1 until they have a competitive flagship in their lineup. Cadillac needs a S-Class worthy XTS. Lincoln needs a flagship that slots above the MKS. Infiniti needs a new Q. Until then, they shall remain at the top of Tier 2.
